Studying Hadoop or MapReduce can be a daunting task if you get your hand dirty at the start.
I followed the schedule as follows :

• Start with very basics of MR with code.google.com/edu/parallel/dsd-tutorial.html code.google.com/edu/parallel/mapreduce-tutorial.html
  

• Then go for the first two lectures in www.cs.washington.edu/education/courses/cse490h/08au/lectures.htm A very good course intro to MapReduce and Hadoop.
  

• Read the seminal paper labs.google.com/papers/mapreduce.html and its improvements in the updated version http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/courses/cse490h/08au/readings/communications200801-dl.pdf
  

• Then go for all the other videos in the U.Washington link given above.
  
• Try youtubing the terms Map reduce and hadoop to find videos by ORielly and Google RoundTable for good overview of the future of Hadoop and MapReduce
  

• Then off to the most important videos - Cloudera Videos www.cloudera.com/resources/?media=Video and Google MiniLecture Series code.google.com/edu/submissions/mapreduce-minilecture/listing.htmlAlong with all the Multimedia above we need good written material
  

Documents:

• Architecture diagrams at hadooper.blogspot.com are good to have on your wall
  

• Hadoop: The definitive guide goes more into the nuts and bolts of the whole system where as Hadoop in Action is a good read with lots of teaching examples to learn the concepts of hadoop. Pro Hadoop is not for beginners
  

• pdfs of the documentation from Apache Foundation hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/ and hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/stable/ will help you learn as to how model your problem into a MR solution in order to gain the advantages of Hadoop in total.
  

• HDFS paper by Yahoo! Research is also a good read in order to gain in depth knowledge of hadoop
  

• Subscribe to the User Mailing List of Commons, MapReduce and HDFS in order to know problems, solutions and future solutions.
  

• Try the http://developer.yahoo.com/hadoop/tutorial/module1.html link for beginners to expert path to Hadoop
  

• For Any Queries ...Contact Apache, Google, Bing, Yahoo!
